password for booting

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/password-for-booting.1860/

I just want to know how do we set up a booting password. I mean even to enter the O.S selection screen I want to setup a password from Win 98 or Win XP. Plz help me. Also how do we prevent unauthorised persons from entering the Win 98 as we can easily press the cancel button in the initial screen and enter the O.S without entering the password. I just need some mechanism to prevent Win 98 from loading even if the person chooses the cancel option.

Set the password in BIOS.

for ur 1st q...d/l XOSL ....excellent tool for booting in to the OS of ur choice.....you can set pwd for that.....or simple go to BIOS ...go to Adv chipset .....change the security option from setup to system ....set your pwd..and then rebbot...now...the PC wont go past POST screen unless n untill u give the correct PWD.........

as far as ur 2nd q ..check out old Digit CD's there r plenty of such softs ..to prevent in win98.....
